You see the dogs kill your other pet and you let them be in the same house as your toddler grandson??? The father & grandmother should feel guilty too. I don't care about adults owning pits, they know the risks and if the dog eats their face off, I don't care there is informed consent. But a small child can not consent to anything. That little boy died because of ignorant and irresponsible adults. RIP sweet baby boy. |
I just saw the news interview with him. I thought it said he had 5 pitbulls?. Anyway, I guess he wasn't home and the grandmother found him out in the garage. How long was a 2 year old left alone that he was able to get into a (supposedly) padlocked garage? Even the neighbors were saying these were vicious dogs and were afraid of them. He said he never saw it, but the largest pit was never allowed near the kids.
I found the whole story very sad, was nearly in tears until the very end where they stated that the grandfather thought he should have to pay fines, but shouldn't serve any jail time
That's the new thing in America when things like this happen or children are left in hot cars. Oh, they have suffered enough and shouldn't have to face jail time. There is NO reason this should have ever happened. That is a horrifying death of a tiny child.
I would think my last concern would be if I were going to jail.
